Re: Outrageous
by tracy thornton on Nov 16, 2009 09:49 AM

I am a US women who actually went to Dr Patel, and it is not $50 dollars, it is $50 a month for room and bored and for themselves and then it is $4000-$6000 at the end. A lot of Us couples cannot afford to get IVF or surrogacy in the states, insurance does not cover these procedures. The cost over here is $30,000 to $50,000 and that is because of all of the legal fees and lawers fees and the high cost of Medical fees and medication. Over here it cost $3000 just for the shots for fertility, over there the cost of medicine only is $500 so right there we pay 4 times as much. Maybe it costs so much for us because of our government and how greedy people are with suing doctors for malpractice and they then charge more for services to pay their insurance premiums. Don't blame the infertile women for wanting to try the only solution they have heard can help their problem. Do you think that a rich person in Us would dare fly to India to have such a thing done to them in the first place. Believe me they would not.
